After the Hurricane, we had no electricity for over a week.

Utility companies lined up trucks to restore power.

But as mayor, Andrew Gillum refused help from workers.

The trucks just sat, while people suffered.

Incompetence, or extreme politics, I don't know. But leaders are supposed to help people in tough times.

And Andrew Gillum, he didn't help us. He failed us.

My son was diagnosed with complex autism.

High temperatures typically cause health complications for children like him, that require special licensed facilities.

After the hurricane, they lost power, and should have been first-restored.

They begged Mayor Andrew Gillum for help, but Gillum turned away workers who could have restored our power. It was devastating.
